Description of 📷 MeFoto RoadTrip Carbon Fiber Tripod/Monopod: Lightweight, Twist Locks, Triple Action Ballhead, & Arca Swiss Plate - Black (C1350Q1K)

The MeFOTO RoadTrip is a compact travel camera tripod that folds up inversely and turns into a monopod. When incorporated with the MeFOTO SideKick iPhone tripod mount (not included), the RoadTrip makes the perfect choice. Available in several colors. 360-degree Panning Accurate panoramas can be easily orchestrated using the graduated panning scale for accurate image alignment. Two Leg Angle Positions: For an extra measure of flexibility, tripod legs can be independently locked into place at two different angles to enable shooting in cramped quarters, on irregular surface areas, or at ground level. Recessed Center-Column Hook: A spring loaded recessed hook, located in the bottom of the center-column, allows you to hang additional weight from the tripod's center of gravity for increased stability. Separate Head and Pan Lock: Individual head tension and lock knob as well as pan lock help make the right adjustment. Precision Matched Q Series Ballhead: Dual action heavy-duty ballhead with Arca-Swiss style compatible quick release plate. Integral Bubble Level: Allows adjustment to prevent uneven pans and head movements. Compact The tripod legs can be inverted and folded back 180 degrees making it small enough to carry just about anywhere. Five Leg Sections: Get the height you need and ultimate versatility. Twist Lock Legs with Anti-Rotation System: MeFOTO's innovative rubberized locking grips combined with anti-rotation legs enable fast and fumble-free set up plus weather and dust-resistance. Foam Grip on Monopod Leg: For extreme temperatures, this foam grip will come in handy when the tripod legs heat up or freeze over.

Worst tripod I've ever used

This is without a doubt the worst tripod I've ever used. Full disclosure, I work with video and I know it's a photo tripod, so I knew from the start I couldn't use it for panning or anything out of the ordinary (laughs), but I figured it would at least be yours can support the A7sII with a Sony 24-70 for two weeks of filming on the go. And besides, it wasn't even for a concert, just a random shoot on the street. For example, take a picture of my cute campsite shoot, nothing special. Not only…

Light, strong and easy to pack

My first tripod was the Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB 100 aluminum tripod set and it works really well. There are a few things I won't discuss here, but the main issue was that it was so heavy and bulky that I couldn't take it anywhere. I wanted something that I could easily pack in my carry-on when traveling and also easily take with me on camping trips. This tripod is very light and easily folds to fit in most carry-on bags. I have a Nikon D500 with a rechargeable battery and a Sigma 17-50 lens and

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • For old

Build quality questionable

UPDATE: January 5, 2017 Had to downgrade a star. I sent the tripod to Mefoto for repairs, which was quickly repaired and sent back to me (or so I thought). Walking around town tonight, I found that the ball head was not properly attached to the tripod. And then I found that the resistance knob was completely stuck and wouldn't turn. I tried rotating it a little more and then the tripod handle broke. I will be traveling to Iceland to see the Northern Lights and I have a tripod that broke twice…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Long

Excellent compact lightweight travel tripod

Having owned a travel tripod for several months I still love it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight tripod that is compact enough to use in multiple locations to become. I mainly use it with a Canon Eos Rebel t5i (700D) DSLR that comes with a Peak Design quick release plate (Arca type) that fits their grip and other products, but this tripod can also be used with my point. and shoot with a camera or with an iPhone/binoculars holder, making it very versatile. One leg with…

Pros
  • Suitable for many
Cons
  • Some difficulties

MePhoto to the rescue!

The MeFoto tripod is not a cheap tripod. I bought it based on all the rave reviews and the fact that I need a lightweight and portable tripod for travel and trips. I have a Slik tripod that weighs about three times as much and much more when folded and overall size. I wasn't sure what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised. What bothered me is that I found a tripod that was A) lightweight and easy to travel and carry around without much fanfare. B) Can comfortably hold a full frame DSLR…
